That is just what the original recipe stated.<br />I don't mind soy products (non GMO of course) from the research I have found on it. Soy products do have phytoestrogens, but they work much differently in our bodies than estrogen we naturally make (or that meat eaters obtain from animal foods). Phytoestrogens actually have a way of helping to clear out excess hormones in our bodies that can be troublesome for cancers of the reproductive organs (breast, prostate, etc.).<br />My rule of thumb is to stick to the least processed soy forms such as beans, tofu, and tempeh, homemade soy yogurt; and stay clear of the highly processed forms like soy ice cream, soy meat substitutes, and soy protein powders. Also, I try to rotate soy products in as I do with other beans on a once or twice a month basis.Amy's Nutritarian Kitchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08200134098931452894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8497179589669118598.post-63921560800634526362016-01-19T18:44:23.846-08:002016-01-19T18:44:23.846-08:00Looks yummy except the soy products.

I encourage all your readers to do the research. A good meat substitute I have recently started eating is a product called Quorn. But, of course, the best food is whole foods, not processed.

While doing UWL, I noticed that my fingernails were dull and not shiny like they used to be. Adding back in a bit of nuts/seeds has resolved that.<br />UWL taught me some great lessons of having veggies for breakfast more often, using lower fat bean based sauces, and to remove food triggers such as chocolate and crackers.<br />-AmyAmy's Nutritarian Kitchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08200134098931452894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8497179589669118598.post-15005590362911519172016-01-09T14:44:52.136-08:002016-01-09T14:44:52.136-08:00Thanks for the recipe Amy, the soup looks great!
